The connector is a hold over from the IT group that originally installed the
servers, who are no longer involved in this client. (Put they did leave a
mess.)

OK, so after 5 PM tonight I will remove that connector and check all again.

BTW, about 2 years ago mail stopped flowing out because of a problem with
that connector. Restarted the server and started flowing again.
